Well as you all no im getin rid of my Saxo......cause finding it hard to pay for it while im out of work.......though tbh i wanna get rid due to mileage/damage
Anyway......im most likely to be starting a new job this month or maybe next so soon as i so im gonna get a loan of £4,000
But im stuck on what car to get? I really wanna move on and get a Toyota Glanza Turbo......some modded once look smart and there a tad bit quicker then a VTS
I would get a VTS but the insurance on them are more expensive then the GT turbo, well for me anyway.
Plus i would love another VTR but whats the point? ive had one so why get in debt for the same car?
Anyway what you think? any suggestions of cars thats worth getin or looking at?

what about a clio 172 or 182 mate, nice step up from a saxo, the build quality and standard kit is much better

Nice cars, but a big insurance group so thats a no no :p

Yeh i might look into one of these, but the max money ill loan is £5,000 and i dunno if i can get one for around this money.......trouble is the insurance will be more then a VTS though id prefer to have a 182/172 then a saxo........only cause i think there smart cars..........though i will get another saxo im sure :y:
fiesta ST.......(dont kill me because its a ford!)
NOOOOO lol i hate ford tbh......i think there cheap and tacky IMO

Tell my mate that who is having £900 worth of work done on his CRX after the engine went in it.. Reliable on a whole, yes, bullet proof, no..
In reply to the thread, in another thread you said you got away with not paying your insurance and trouble with finances, sounds a recipe for possible troubles.

No ive always payed my insurance, what i did mean is i got pulled cause it was sayin i had no insurance, cause we did phone up to change it over but they stopped the policy without sending new one through......so i thought car was still ok to drive....so i was all ok
as for fiance i just missed 1 payment, the parants send they pay for it intill i get a job, but i said no dw rather get rid of it cos im better off :y:

You might find getting a loan might be trickey as you are having a finance repo!
Get out of work protection on this one if you do!!

if you were having trouble paying the last finance why go and get a loan to buy a new car? just seems like you are going backwards tbh. why not just save the money and bike to work or something, then when you buy a car it will be all yours and you wont be any debt. thats what i would do anyway but it aint my credit file so buy a fiat coupe 20 turbo. they are insanely fast and do 0-60 in about 6 seconds. if you look after them they wont be any problem but make sure you get one with the cambelt done or it will very exspensive to replace.:y:

will you be able to get another loan seeing as your last one was canceled as you couldnt keep up repayments?

depends how his crdit rating was before this incident. if it was spotless then it might have just put a dent in it. incidentally mate, if you do manage to get another loan then you might pay sky high intertest on it or something. some loan companys have been know to whack at least 40% interest on some of thier loans

that answer is relevant only to the VTEC system itself IE: the cylinder head, ecu, and valva train etc doesnt fail
however the bottom end is known to let go,
theres a vid on youtube of a DC5 teg letting go,

Go for the glanza....there fast and reliable plus cheap on insurance, altho maybe trick if stuff did go wrong so buy a good example.
Also I had a fiesta 1.6 SI for a bit....Legends:clapping:

Yeh ive had one before aswell......i knackard the box on it though, but in fairness it was on it way out when i got it :n:
But this ones lower etc with XR2i arches attached on lol, though at end of the day its a decent car, better then a standard mk3 fiesta

Do many companies insure you on a Glanza Turbo?
If so anyone know of any companies that would?
